Stephen A. Smith has a bleak verdict on OnlyFans after the model revealed she earns more than NBA stars

Stephen A. Smith has concerns about the implications of an OnlyFans model earning more than many of the NBA’s most popular players.

Sophie Rain recently revealed her staggering earnings from the website where fans pay to see images and videos from content creators.

The 20-year-old posted screenshots showing that she had earned $43.4 million in the last 12 months – including more than $4 million from one fan.

“I guess he might be the hottest man in America, right?” the ESPN analyst said on “The Stephen A. Smith Show.”

“To put total earnings in perspective, Sophie Rain has made more money from OnlyFans than many of the NBA’s biggest stars…Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Edwards.”

Smith then pointed out that OnlyFans content creators earned a total of $6.6 billion in 2023.

“(That) exceeds the total salaries of the entire National Basketball Association, which was $4.9 billion,” he said.

“Mrs. Raine says she is a devout Christian and a virgin… and yet the man gave her almost five million dollars.” This is a new meaning of perversity for him.

“How else can you describe him? Why would you pay a girl on OnlyFans almost $5 million?

Smith claims he had never been on OnlyFans and had never heard of Rain before reading about her earnings.

“And that’s what blew me away,” he said.

“The scary thing about this is that it will encourage people who are desperate for quick money to do anything that they think will make money…who knows what that will bring?”

He added: “Do you think there won’t be people out there saying, ‘What if I’m willing to do something physical, what if I’m willing to do porn?’

While OnlyFans has proven to be a game-changer, athletes have at times used the platform to deposit money into their bank accounts.

Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman uses the platform and went viral (and gained 20,000 followers) over the summer when she tweeted after a successful jump at the Paris Games.

“There’s always a stigma attached to it and I’m well aware of that,” she told Mail Sport. “But I have so much confidence in the company and in the future.”

Newman would win a bronze medal in Paris. Several other Olympians, including British diver Jack Laugher, have also used the platform.
